I have itching and burning in my private and butt area, and my husband also has a rash in his area. We haven't engaged in anything suspicious, but I was hospitalized for a while and am unsure what medical steps to take for us. What could be causing this and what should we do?

I had a baby 4 1/2 months ago and was on Lovenox for a DVT in my leg, now I'm on Xarelto. This is the second period that has been really heavy, bleeding through Super plus tampons in 30 minutes with clots. Is this normal, and could it be related to the blood thinners?

I have only one ovary on my right side that contains 4 cysts that don’t seem to be cancerous but are painful and become more painful closer to my cycles. The pain started 2 days ago and is constant with nausea, vomiting, and loose stools. The pain is sharp and stabbing. I’ve been taking Goody's and insulin for my diabetes. I’ve had 2 ectopic pregnancies and my pancreas doesn’t produce the insulin I need. I am 37 years old and have known about the cysts since March 2023. They are all about the same size and not increasing, with one being a dermoid. Ibuprofen did not work and Goody's only eases pain for a few minutes. I am not on any contraception.

I have been experiencing a fishy odor in my urine for a month now, and the odor is getting worse. I am 47 years old, not on any medications, and sexually active. The smell is coming from the urine. Additionally, my urine is sometimes cloudy and has varied colors, and I had a burning sensation three weeks ago which has since subsided. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I’m on birth control (Depo shot) and recently had sex with my partner. I’m now spotting and have noticed little to no discharge. The spotting is normal for me when I’m due for my depo shot. Should I be concerned, and is the change in discharge something to worry about?

My girlfriend is currently 12 weeks pregnant and will be exactly 12 weeks on January 16, 2010. I'm worried because she left me on November 16, 2009, for 3 weeks and came back on December 4, 2009. I hope she didn't cheat on me during that time. She says the midwife told her the baby would have been conceived no later than November 9, 2009. Does this sound about right to you?
